Terence Ireland

Ronald and the staff are always very welcoming. This guesthouse is a little gem in a beautiful area, providing a great base from which to explore the Burren.

Padraig Ireland

It was easy to find with a good size carpark right in front at no charges. There was a restaurant right opposite and a grocery store round the corner. Dunguaire Castle is 3 minutes drive or 14 minutes walk. Check in was fast and easy. There was a lift which was great to go with all the luggage to my 2nd floor room. The room itsel was larger than expected. It was nice to so much space after some very small rooms I stayed earlier. There was tea and coffee, heater, towels, hot shower, tv,.... most things travelers need. Room was clean and everything works well. Breakfast was sumptious.

Emily Singapore

Excellent central location. Skylight blind very welcome for a good nights sleep. Girls waiting on the breakfast tables were all very pleasant. Great coffee too.

Reddington Ireland

I like the way it surprises you once you see the inside. The moment you walk-in, you might think it's a small cheap hotel, but surprise surprise surprise. Looks new, clean and well maintained. The young girl in the reception as well was very nice! I said I want to pay for extra person I brought with me for the breakfast, but she said it's ok! Even gave us extra towel. Such amazing experience.
